Heat or Insulation: Behavioral Titration of Mouse Preference for Warmth or Access to a Nest
Brianna N. Gaskill,Brianna N. Gaskill,Christopher J. Gordon,Edmond A. Pajor,Jeffrey R. Lucas,J K Davis,Joseph P. Garner +6 more
TL;DR: Overall, mice of different strains and sexes prefer temperatures between 26–29°C and the shift from thermotaxis to nest building is seen between 6 and 10 g of material, but up to 10 grams may be needed to alleviate thermal distress under typical temperatures.
Impact of nesting material on mouse body temperature and physiology
Brianna N. Gaskill,Brianna N. Gaskill,Christopher J. Gordon,Edmond A. Pajor,Jeffrey R. Lucas,J K Davis,Joseph P. Garner +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that nesting material would allow mice to alleviate cold stress by controlling their thermal microenvironment, thus insulating them, reducing heat loss and thermogenic processes, and reducing the need for non-shivering thermogenesis.

Strain differences in susceptibility to murine respiratory mycoplasmosis in C57BL/6 and C3H/HeN mice.
J K Davis,R F Parker,Harold J. White,Dan Dziedzic,G. D. Taylor,M K Davidson,Nancy Cox,Gail H. Cassell +7 more
TL;DR: The C57BL/6 mice were significantly more resistant to the development of gross and microscopic lung lesions and to death due to pneumonia as shown by an almost 100-fold difference in the 50% lethal dose, 50% gross pneumonia dose, and 50% microscopic lesion dose.

Nonspecific lymphocyte responses in F344 and LEW rats: susceptibility to murine respiratory mycoplasmosis and examination of cellular basis for strain differences.
J K Davis,Jerry W. Simecka,J. S. P. Williamson,S E Ross,M. Margaret Juliana,R B Thorp,Gail H. Cassell +6 more
TL;DR: Differences in lymphocyte responsiveness were primarily due to differences within the nonadherent cell population in LEW lymphoid populations, whereas no difference was found in MRC OX-8+ (T suppressor/cytotoxic) cells.
